Core technology competencies

We developed a list of tech competencies last year (heavily borrowed from other libraries). Everyone is responsible for getting up to speed this year. Next year, competency will be needed in order to receive an annual review rating of meets expectations or higher and to be eligible for a merit increase. Managers will be responsible for deeming if staff are meeting the technology competencies.
